Hair: Miko's hair is a curly brown mess when untamed. He usually styles it to be slicked back and neat, but a few days without attention and it becomes a birds nest. He shaves his face every day, as he can get quite stubbly too.
Eyes: Miko's eyes are large, brown and always suggesting mischievousness. They're framed with bushy brows an often heavy bags due to lack of sleep. He has a pair of round small glasses at the end of his nose at all times, and is blind as a bat without them.
Face + Skin: Miko was blessed with the dark brown skin of his father, and the softness of his mothers. His face is a unique one, with a strong angled jawline and a big goofy smile. His lips are plump and his cheekbones are strong.
Body: Without working out often, or at all, Miko has very little muscular definition. His physical strength is lacking, and his body shows it. Standing at 5ft6, his body is not intimidating in any way.
Dress: True to the late 1800s, Miko dresses in an old fashioned way. Suits and shirts are always a must, even if they're often covered in soot or oil. He likes warm brown tones instead of black and white. He owns one top hat which he only wears when needed.
Personality:
| Introverted | Dedicated | Flirty | Patient | Selfless | Whimsical |
When somebody says "married to their work", they definitely mean Miko. He is dedicated to his discipline and very little can drag him away from it. He doesn't care for many social or romantic relationships, and sometimes forgets to eat. He is a quiet man who keeps to himself when in public, but it doesn't take much to get him talking.
If pulled away from his notebooks for one moment, Miko proves to be the opposite of the shy nerd you expect His entire lifes work revolves around insane ideas and proving that crazy works. He's lively and loves to talk your ear off about work and is not ashamed of it. Sometimes his playfulness translates to some flirtatiousness. Whilst he doesn't usually have any intentions to get a relationship that he can't maintain, he does like the chase sometimes.
Miko is selfless, and doesn't want fame or fortune, he just wants to discover and unlock the secrets of the universe. Of course he wants to share them with the world, but he knows that there are so many scientists who want to steal his ideas and capitalize off them, and he won't let that happen. He has much patience, and will wait for the right time to release his work.
Miko is very optimistic about people and the world. He does not see himself as a tortured artist, but as a man lucky enough to practice his science. People can rarely hurt his feelings, and he is very sure of himself. Nothing much can phase Miko, but sometimes people like to try.

Father + Relationship: Ahmed Nassar is an Egyptian Travelor who loved to see the world. He never thought he'd find someone to fall in love with, until he met Monica in Serbia. He settled down and had a child with her, Miko. He was strict in the household, and was always working hard. Miko didn't see much of his father and when they immigrated, Ahmed disappeared to travel the USA. Miko was very angry about it his whole teenagehood, and didn't realize by distracting himself with work that he was becoming him. Ahmed hasn't contacted his family since he left, and nobody knows what happened to him.
Mother + Relationship: Monica Nassar is Miko's mother. She is a Serbian factory worker, who immigrated with her husband and child to the USA to Chicago. She was the softer voice of the household when Miko was a child, and never shouted at him. When they immigrated on Mikos 12th Birthday, she made sure he stayed in education. Miko loves his mother to pieces and is always sending her letters from his workshop. He thinks shes a very strong woman, and knew how hard it was to immigrate from Europe. The two often meet up for holidays.
Friends: Angela - Angela is a feisty artist who is lucky to have such a rich family. Her and Miko met at his local bakery and the two get along and bond over their love of art. Lots of her paintings have inspired a few of his inventions. She sometimes wishes he would pull his head out of his work and have more fun more often.
Enemies: There are many scientists who compete with Miko, they know that he has some secrets when it comes to physics. Half of them want to plaster their name on his work and become famous, others want to sell his ideas and become rich. Miko will protect his work with his life and he's had a few arguments over it.
Exes: Miko has never dated, due to the criminality of his sexuality. He's had a fair amount of experiences with men and women, but does not think he'll ever date.
